Jay'sAnalysis: “Candace Crashout, Disinformation, Wakanda Time Travel Matrix: B-DAY STREAM!!!! PEAK INSANITY!”
Host: Jay Dyer
Guests/Callers: Various, including The Quartering
Date: January 17, 2026
Episode Overview
This raucous “best of” Jay Dyer birthday stream explores the recent explosion of “conspiracy insanity” around conservative influencer Candace Owens’ turn toward extreme online theories — involving time travel, ancient Sumerian technology, disinformation psy-ops, “Wakanda” consciousness expansion, and more. Jay oscillates between biting satire, critique, and genuine concern as he analyzes Candace’s claims, the cult-like behavior of her followers, and the general state of “post-truth” media. Between the chaos are major riffs on cults of personality, logical fallacies, targeted individuals, disinformation operations, and the infiltration of conspiracies by intelligence agencies. The episode is marked by Jay's signature mix of humor, sharp critique, and layered references, jumping from high-level theory to absurd pop culture metaphors.
Key Segments & Discussion Points
1. Parody & Satire of Guru/Conspiracy Culture
- Timestamp: 00:35 – 09:47
- Jay opens with an absurdist riff on cult gurus, “energy vampires,” and the hypocrisy of leaders demanding communal living while enjoying luxury (“How many swamis got a dang Rolls Royce?”).
- Launches into playful and surreal “cringe core” song parodies about “Mormon space wives” and “magic underwear,” lampooning religious and crypto-conspiracy culture.
“Often times the communal living that the guru demands doesn't match up to the guru who's driving around in a freaking Rolls Royce. What? … That's that Booger whistlebank.”
— Jay Dyer (01:41)
2. Candace Owens’ Descent into “Quantum Foam” Conspiracy
- Timestamp: 12:51 – 21:31
- Jay transitions into the main critique: Candace Owens is now promoting wild theories involving quantum foam, Sumerian technology, CIA time travel, and more.
- He riffs on the constant escalation of conspiracy narratives and how algorithm-driven media replaces “reality” with whatever gets the most attention.
“You gotta watch the Matrix, Inception, the New Mutants, Black Panther, AKA Wakanda. And what else we gotta watch? … Because Erica Kirk is a Cylon.”
— Jay Dyer (21:31)
3. Breakdown of Time Travel & Sumerian Tech Claims
- Timestamp: 23:55 – 33:09
- Jay plays and breaks down Candace’s claims about “Project Looking Glass” (CIA using Sumerian technology to manipulate timelines).
- Mocks the idea that tech “stopped working” in 2012 (tying in the Mayan calendar meme) and the growing postmodern trend toward narrative creation over objective reality.
“That technology stopped working in 2012. That's why the Mayan calendar stopped. Did you? Duh.”
— Jay Dyer (24:34)
- Discusses the psychological and sociological mechanisms behind these beliefs, comparing them to “targeted individual” mentalities.
4. Disinformation Operations & Cointelpro
- Timestamp: 33:52 – 56:10
- Jay analyzes the Candace phenomenon through a disinformation lens, referencing Operation Trust and how intelligence operations manipulate and discredit dissident movements by flooding zones with absurdity.
- Compares Candace’s trajectory to “QTARD” (QAnon) behaviour, noting the “unfalsifiability” of her/their theories.
“Operation Trust … the Soviets did to root out some of the remaining White army supporters … [by] getting a giant list … It could be intentional disinformation to gather a large audience and lead people off into nonsense just like the Q stuff was.”
— Jay Dyer (approx. 36:40)
5. Cult Mindset & Charismatic Delusion
- Timestamp: 54:25 – 62:07
- Jay draws parallels between Candace’s followers and religious cults, explaining the psychology behind “everything happens because of me” and linking this to charismatic Catholicism.
“There's this charismatic element… another reason this is so… It's, It's irrational… All charismatic crap does is just create atheism.”
— Jay Dyer (51:10)
- Calls for basic education in logical fallacies: “If you learn the informal fallacies, do you know how many stupid things you would avoid?”
6. Open Calls, Community Absurdity, and More Satire
- Timestamp: 62:07 – 79:38
- The episode opens up for calls: topics range from time travel and sportsball, to epistemology and “Mormon space wives.”
- Jay and guests continue their surreal riffing, interspersed with more serious engagement regarding epistemology, cult thinking, and mental health.
- They openly mock callers identifying as “time travelers,” give out joke “race passes,” and reference Parliament-Funkadelic's "mothership connection" paralleling next-level conspiracy episodes.
7. Disinformation by Flooding & Postmodern Media Surrealism
- Timestamp: 79:38 – 95:00
- Jay discusses how the social media landscape now incentivizes extremity for viral attention.
“Post-truth … the way that media is now operating is fully surrealist. … There is no reality other than the reality that's given to you through the alternative media, which is now the real media. … It is just batshit crazy.”
— Jay Dyer (45:34)
- Explains simulacra and simulation, referencing Baudrillard: whoever controls the wildest narrative now controls “reality.”
8. Critiques from The Quartering and More Listeners
- Timestamp: 135:53 – End
- Stream regular The Quartering calls in, bantering with Jay about Candace’s ever-wilder claims, bot-pumped engagement, and the likely end scenario (possible lawsuit, needing ever-wilder content for views).
“Every new theory has to get even more insane … like a heroin addict chasing the dragon.”
— The Quartering (143:41)
- More callers discuss people “catching up” on old conspiracies, the difficulty of escaping delusional thinking once invested, and the co-option of truth media spaces.
Memorable Quotes
-
On escalating conspiracy content:
“The one that's the most outlandish and fringe is the one that's the most popular now. So basically we're at this post truth phase.”
— Jay Dyer (45:34) -
On Operation Trust and disinfo:
“Q was based on Operation Trust...It bore so many parallels...it was all a Bolshevik scam to get all the names of all of the remaining...counter revolutionaries.”
— Jay Dyer (36:40) -
On intuitive “truth-seeking”:
“An intuitive sense and feeling is the worst guide in some of these arenas.”
— Jay Dyer (56:10) -
Mocking Candace’s metaphysical claims:
“She’s got the time dimensional matrix powers where she can see through the time matrix matrix ... If you didn't know the gate program, I was actually in the gate program. ... and I can confirm to you today. Yes, it is a full Wakanda Yakubian project that the CIA stole from the Sumerians.”
— Jay Dyer (21:31) -
Summarizing the audience dynamic:
“They’re sunken cost. They've already invested in this nonsense and defended it for the last six months. So they gotta keep defending it — and, ‘Oh, it's just rhetoric. She didn't mean it.’”
— Jay Dyer (91:47)
Thematic Highlights
A. The Candace Phenomenon: Grift, Psyop, or Breakdown?
- Jay considers possible explanations for Candace’s descent: psychological break, deliberate disinformation, or just cashing in on the audience “black hole” for conspiratainment.
B. Logic & Post-Truth Culture
- The stream is a passionate call for education in logic and reasoning: “basic logic to live in the world and succeed,” not just to win internet arguments.
C. The Dangers of Unfalsifiable Theories
- Jay and his co-hosts deconstruct the self-reinforcing logic of conspiracy movements: every refutation is just evidence of further conspiracy.
D. Satire as Critique
- Jay’s relentless satire, call-ins from self-described “time travelers,” and references to pop culture (Matrix, X-Men, Battlestar Galactica, Parliament Funkadelic) serve to demonstrate how online disinformation culture blurs fact and fiction.
E. Targeted Individuals, Schizophrenia, & the Cult of “Being Watched”
- The psychology of believing you're at the center of a grand plot — and how conspiracy culture preys on that sensitivity.

Summary for New Listeners
